Extra tips
Any healthy snack ideas?
These simple and easy-to-prepare snacks are great for solo snacking:

- Hard-boiled egg with a sprinkle of herbs
- Single serving of mixed nuts
- A piece of fresh fruit, like an apple or banana

- Whole grain toast with peanut butter
What should I drink on this meal plan?
For an individual (one person), beverage choices can be tailored to personal health goals. Water is a universal need. Green tea can offer a calming, antioxidant-rich break. A single-serve smoothie can be a nutritious snack. Black coffee provides a caffeine boost without calories. Herbal teas are great for winding down.
How to get even more nutrients?
Crafting a balanced diet with proper nutrients can sometimes be challenging due to less motivation to prepare varied meals for one person. It’s important to focus on easy-to-prepare, nutritious foods that offer good sources of protein, such as canned fish, eggs, or single-serve portions of meat. Ready-to-eat whole grains, pre-cut vegetables, and fruits can provide necessary fiber and vitamins. Incorporating a variety of nuts and seeds for healthy fats can also simplify balanced eating.
